It would be nice, CD! I just worry that by that time we would all be grandpa!

I heard about G-Force, then the Gatchaman OVA (but I didn't see any pictures of it until this year, I first saw it for sale at Robotech.com), then Battle of the Planets, and THEN Gatchaman.

It's all my husband's fault. When we moved in together, he started searching the Net for things he remembered from childhood, and one of those things was Battle of the Planets.

I saw about 30 secs of an episode and was like, "This is a PoS." (Picky, aren't I?) I found out it was actually an anime, and then got the original eps fansubbed. Obviously, a lot better than BotP, and I empathized with the tragic hero, Katse. And that became my nickname, irl and here.

For me, I remembered Battle of the Planets vaguely, but it was G-Force when it was on Cartoon Network that got me really interested in the show.

Well, everyone, answer the poll. So far, most came via 'Battle of the Planets'.

I see how this group is, make me break my lurking ways.... Yes, BOTP was first, but I was one of the weirdos that watched the Eagle Riders series in the USA (what they showed of it) and threatened the tv that I was going to report them to Sandy Frank for copy rights... I was such a doofus back then. Still am glad that all of the past has led me to a point that I can appreciate all the Gatch vices (and like some on here) still hold a hope that a new movie will be made, and children of today will have that as their reason.

Well, as it is my first post here, I say "helllo everybody!"

I saw Eagle Riders in TV back in '96 (or so), and I come to Gatchaman... 3 days ago Wink I've just remembered old times, with Eagle Riders as favorite anime... I was sad, when it was over, but hey! Fox Kids began to show Marvel series, so I forgot ER for... 14 years!

Anyway - 26.03.2010 I turned on net browser, typed "Eagle Riders" ("Eskadra Orła" in polish - i'm from Poland btw) and... nothing. After 3h I discover, that ER is Saban adaptation of Gatchaman blablabla etc...

IMHO, BotP is worst thing - with that R2D2-like impostor... blah! I'll rather stay with Raiders, 'cause of awesome intro/outro theme (before flaming - I don't like japan opening. Whole atmosphere of saving the world is disrupted by "funny opera" music. It sounds too silly to me. Maybe because I always liked US anim's... )

Ok, just wanted to say hello Wink

Well, I'm BotP through and through. Imprinted on it, you might say, at six years old and been a frothing fan ever since. (Seriously, how many people do you know who watched Star Wars for the first time and liked the X-wing fighters best because they looked a little bit like the Phoenix ?) I like pretty much everything about BotP, warts and all--the fact that it has them makes it more like a real world to me. And while yes, Zark gets a little bit pedantic at times, shucks, so do I. Wink2 Although I did write In a Small Room, which I guess shows I retain some glimmer of sanity regarding the little metal bugger.

Even though Gatch is the real, the original, the Source of it All . . . I still prefer BotP, mostly because of the characters themselves. If I understood Japanese better, I might have ended up preferring the Gatch characters because let's face it, they are the originals. But maybe not. The voice actors, storylines, and characterization in BotP really gel for me. Like I say, imprinted. chick

I figured my story was so much like so many others that I wouldn't bother to post, how can I resist.

I think we got BotP a year later than a lot of the country so it was 1979-80 when it aired here. I don't think they ever did show all the eps. I saw it one day after school and was hooked. I was 15 and was a little uncomfortable letting too many people know I liked it. I knew one other girl who liked it, but she was one of those slightly odd people whom you envision living in their parents basement at an advanced age, so I didn't want to be identified too closely with her. I did tell my best friend about the show and made her sit through a few eps, but that was as far as it went. Then the station stopped airing it in the evenings and put it on way early in the mornings. I kind of stopped watching after that.

I revisited it a few years ago and found out more about Gatchaman, which my now-ex had told me about several years before. I didn't stay hooked, but it must have made an impression because now, taking time to distance myself from another fandom, here I am. I've even bought the OAV's and am waiting for my daughter to get home from her Spring break to watch them. Who knows we may get another from the next generation interested.

Though I'm looking forward to watching Gatch, I'll always be a BotP fan first.

Garnet, what other fandom are/were you part of?

Maddy and I are part of the behemoth that is Harry Potter (you might say I'm a refugee from that fandom, I still have official duties on a website and I'm here avoiding them).

My other fandom is Lord of the Rings. I'm still close to many of my friends I've made there but I no longer could find motivation to write and there was a new type of people getting involved: The critical type that think they are the authority on what is and isn't good writing. I love speculation and AU's and some people were starting to frown on that so it was time to move on broaden my herizons. So here I am and I'm having a ball. Spin3

Big Grin Thinks you remember from childhood Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

A random email from a friend about what you remember from childhood, brought up the talk of classic cartoons BOTP being one of them, then to blessed google, and then.... the fan sites ...I was not alone!!! Oh the joy...
And although I am yet to see a full episode of Gatchaman.... I am having a little trouble getting them for Australia DVD players, there is youtube and the fan sites and my imaginations.
and as I keep telling my friends it not stange at all to become obsesses with a cartoon from childhood>>>as long as it makes me happy!

Garnet; there are pockets of that in the Gatchaman forums,(Not here, I've found people like AU's and aren't picky to the extent of turning a newbie off writing forever...) most people who post here like to try and keep that element that you've mentioned out of here and keep it fun and encouraging and room for progress. So what ever occurs I hope it keeps the spirit of encouragement as its always been here! I'm sure we can keep it that way... I hope you find encouragment to start posting Gatchaman ficcies. If you have and I've missed them sorry. I have 2 toddlers and have trouble keeping up with any new ficcie reading and writing these days. But I will eventually get through my backlog of reading... just some nights I get to tired to really focus and get into reading...that sucks at times...! Smile

As for me... Aussie TV is what got me hooked when I was a kid and I loved it then. I noticed it was different from the other anime shows, and really wanted Princess and Mark to become an item..or at least kiss... sigh...the romantic within me, I was a little girl who loved her Princesses and stories...
I'm starting to expose my little 3yr old and 2yr old to BOTP! I'll make fans of them yet! LOL!!!

edit again!!! Littlewolf, I got most of mine(BOTP) off ebay!!! Local in Australia.

Littlewolf - PM me. I'm in Brisbane and have not only most of Gatch, but also a region free DVD player to watch it on.

Littlewolf - I picked up a cheap region free DVD player from Dick Smiths - about $40.

It works better than my Sony!
